The IRGC navy accused the tanker of having turned off its positioning and radar systems in an effort to evade detection.
A super tanker has caught fire after striking a sea mine in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Saturday.
In a statement shared via Iranian state media, the IRGC’s navy said a tanker carrying more than two million barrels of oil struck a mine whilst “attempting to pass through an unauthorised route” in the Strait, causing a “massive explosion” and a “fierce fire.” It is unclear exactly where the incident took place.
Ahhh yes, this will be great for local sea life and the environment. Bunch of selfish fuckers all around
To think how none of this would have happened, and how those school girls and many other people would still be alive, had a pedophile in desperate need of a distraction not been in a position to initiate an unwinnable war.
Yeah, but she had a weird laugh.
Yeah. Nobody could possibly have objected to her policy positions. If it hadn’t been for that darn laugh she’d be in office now.
Even the “autopsy” was such wishy washy bullshit. I can’t believe hardcore Dems are still so disconnected and willfully ignorant about how bad they’ve been doing for decades before Trump.
What’s unfortunate is that instead of changing their policies to align with what their base wants, they still try and do comparison politics.
Like why not just fucking change their policies? They’re really waiting for things to get so bad that people vote for them out of desperation instead?
Objected to her policy positions, so chose to let Trump win … because his policies were better? Well, you get what you voted for.
The worst part is he ISN’T in a position to sustain a war for this long. It’s just that no one is doing anything about it.
None of this would have happened if Iran’s fascist government also didn’t need external enemies to blame their economic problems on and didn’t support terrorism throughout the region.
It is indeed assholes on all sides.
